Houses near mountain biking spots aren’t going anywhere so mountain bikers are going to have to get used to people caring how they behave outside their homes.
no matter what bikers/hikers do, the residents don't want people up there. That's pretty clear and how it's always been. It's the sheer numbers I would say that's causing the issue. They can't ban people going up there and even if they do, think it's going to stop anyone? Ban all the parking except locals? E-bike sales will go through the roof and people will find other routes in. DNV isn't going to ban mtb's... too much $, even when the 1% email in to the mayor and council.
I keep telling people how great Squamish is.
I was just on Fromme for a late morning ride, there was no one around. This is a weekend thing that will clear up once the fromm lot and other parks open up again. All the intagrammers will be back at Quarry rock.
I feel lucky I live near the trailheads, is Lynn valley a gong show even moreso on weekends currently? Ya for sure but in the grand scheme of things it's nothing. Try hitting the beach or greenspace in the Los Angeles area on a weekend, it's full mayhem.
